Project Overview
- Energy-efficiency
- Healthy indoor quality (Family had sensitivities to various building products so they hired a professional indoor air quality expert to help select building products)
- Speed of construction
- Fire resistant properties
Innovative Desgin Elements:
Being in a Seismic zone D, heavy snowfall area made total roof loads critical - especially given the rebuild of existing roof overhangs and double cantilever eave/rake overhangs. Simple engineering allowed large panels to carry the load for the full large roof without an extensive truss system.
Certifications:
Indoor Air Quality certification. Additionally, they consulted German Ph.D. Chemist (international expert on SVOCs) about strategies for sealing the underside of the SIPS roof without any toxicities.
